John Legend’s FreeAmerica Campaign Featuring Eddy Zheng

“We are always told by adults what it is to be good and or be bad; yet we don’t realize that the environment that we live in creates a lot of those narratives….When we place education second to incarceration; that is what feeds the system.”

#FREEAMERICA is a multi-year campaign initiated by award-winning artist John Legend to amplify the growing movement to end mass incarceration.
As part of the #FREEAMERICA initiative, which will expand to include other artists and high-profile individuals committed to justice reform, John Legend will lead a listening and learning tour across the country visiting with incarcerated individuals, law enforcement, legislators, and experts who’ve been thinking critically about America’s prison problem.

Legend’s initiative will also seek to support and collaborate with the many pre-existing national and statewide coalitions and organizations committed to this work.

Thank you so much for supporting the New Breath Foundation event with Jan. I’m in Hong Kong getting ready for our Asia Premier of the Breathin’: The Eddy Zheng Story and fundraiser for the foundation. I will keep you updated on how it went.
